Blues Brothers, The - Cheaper To Keep Her Lyrics

{Alright, Lonnie, Junior, the band, the girls and I
We're gonna do it a little song for you now, a little Mac Rise number
Hey, all you married men, if you're tied up, you better stay tied up
Because it's cheaper to keep her}

It's cheaper to keep her
It is cheaper to keep her

When your little girl make you mad
You get an attitude and pack your bag
Five little children that you're leaving behind
You're gonna pay some alimony or do some time

It's cheaper to keep her
(It's cheaper to keep her)
It's cheaper to keep her
(It's cheaper to keep her)

See when you get to staring that judge in the face
You're gonna wanna cuss the whole human race

It's cheaper to keep her
(It's cheaper to keep her)
Too much to leave that little girl
(It's cheaper to keep her)

It's cheaper, it's cheaper, it's cheaper
It's cheaper, it's cheaper, it's cheaper
It's cheaper, cheaper, cheaper, cheaper, yeah

You didn't pay for two dollars to bring the girl home
Now you're about to pay two thousand to leave alone
See another woman out there, you wanna make a change
She ain't gonna watch 'cause you won't have a damn thing

It's cheaper to keep her
(It's cheaper to keep her)
Cheaper to keep her
(It's cheaper to keep her)

The time you get to looking that judge in the face
You gonna wanna cuss the whole human race

It's cheaper to keep her
(It's cheaper to keep her)
Cost too much to leave
(It's cheaper to keep her)

It's cheaper, it's cheaper, it's cheaper
It's cheaper, it's cheaper, cheaper, cheaper
Cheaper, cheaper, cheaper, yeah

If you decide to roam and leave your happy home
You gotta pay the house note
The child support, your insurance
Alimony, mortgage one, mortgage two

It's cheaper to keep her
It's cheaper to keep her
It's cheaper to keep her
It's cheaper to keep her

It's cheaper to keep her
It's cheaper to keep her
It's cheaper to keep her
It's cheaper to keep her

It's cheaper to keep her
